One of my favorites Netflix shows is Portlandia. It's just a lot of fun to me, but I would totally understand if someone does not get it, it's just a very special type of humor. It used to be my coffee time TV show, and I really enjoyed it.
So this show really pumped me to go visit such city, it looked like a nice chill place to go hangout for a weekend. And eventually after making it there, I realized how a good publicity the show had been. Some friends and I went there for a long weekend and right before coming back I decided to stop and get a picture at the "Women and Women First" store, which belongs to one of the most famous sketches in the show. To me they make fun of feminists in a healthy way, nothing to get mad at.
Here's the picture I got:

So I got that picture and a lady was inside looking at me and my friend with a non too friendly face. This place is an actual volunteer community center and right after leaving, I decide to google about it and found the following in their blog:

Gotta say I felt a little bit guilty after reading this:
That was just what I had done! Anyways, I don't really believe the intentions of the show are those, and as I said, it really pumped me to go visit the city and actually loved it. I've been there twice already. Hopefully they'll come to an agreement someday.

PS: The city's got some awesome brunch places, but to be aware of the waiting times on weekends, make sure you watch the Portlandia special brunch episode. It describes it exactly as it is :P
